Hi everyone,

I have put my teacher development target this year to learn how to use CL and produce Desmos Classroom activities to help my students.

This is my first one: [Generating Position-to-term Formulae • Activity by Amplify Classroom](https://classroom.amplify.com/activity/68ce3f62cbe9fc0b66d05cb7) Feedback very welcome!

For my next one I wanted to make an activity where my students can practise factorising quadratics and getting instant feedback before trying another harder one. I teach this using the grid method. I have found this paid activity which is along the lines of what I want to do … [Two-Factor Multiplication • 9th - 12th Grade Math Activity by Amplify Classroom](https://classroom.amplify.com/activity/6855d820da0888c636dbfd43) and this youtuber also doing something similar [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc\_CxDYwzMQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc_CxDYwzMQ).

Any tips on topic discussions or videos I could read/watch to get me started on learning what I need to learn to be able to make something like this.

Thank you!

FYI the “paid activity” is a second link to your activity.

Here are a couple posts with factoring quadratics.

1. [Factored form self-check](https://cl.desmos.com/t/factored-form-self-check/4630)
2. [Help with a factoring activity!](https://cl.desmos.com/t/help-with-a-factoring-activity/4724) (This is mainly related to using patterns to recognize the correct form)
